Micro markets are not convenience stores, contrary to popular belief, and should not be treated as such. They are much more specific in their offerings, and can actually make greater profits than convenience stores. Micro markets have an edge because they sell healthy alternatives to what many convenience stores have. These healthy choices are definitely “in” right now, and it’s a smart move to capitalize on this trend and give your employees what they want.

Interested in how micro markets can help your employees eat right? Read on to learn more about this hip trend in corporate eating options.

Variety is the Spice of Life

The first great thing about micro markets is the fact that they offer a variety of choices. You can put treats and snacks next to fresh salads and fruits, so your employees are able to decide for themselves what it is they want to eat. Believe it or not, many people will actually choose to snack on healthier options! People want to be healthy, after all. Giving your employees the option of a sugary snack or an apple, for example, empowers them to make a good decision. Besides, everyone deserves a piece of chocolate once in a while.

Easy to Read and Understand Nutrition Information

Another good aspect of micro markets is that because not all your food and drinks you offer are in vending machines, it’s a lot easier for your employees to read and analyze nutrition information. The ability to read the label and determine if it’s a good snack choice also empowers employees to make healthy decisions. They can also compare and contrast types of healthy food, such as several different salads, to figure out what they really want.

Helps Reduce Sick Time

As an employer or business owner, you might be wondering if micro markets can help reduce employee sick time. Far too often, people end up getting sick, and it doesn’t help them if they’re not eating right. Because of the healthy offerings, micro markets can help prevent this from happening. If you’re worried about the freshness of the food, have no fear. Your food should be checked for freshness daily. That way, anything that’s expired can be removed.
